aries: i know that you are special because you have been saved, protected, or made to move in the final fatal second, something benevolent and protective is watching over you, you’ve had too many close calls to write yourself off as lucky or indestructible. a child born with a war inside would also be supplied with an extra set of eyes in heaven and protection from combat. it doesn’t matter how old an aries grows, you can always see that mischievous child looking back at you, and that kind of youthful energy is what allows angelic and spiritual forces to be. you are the person that everyone is secretly cheering for, revelling in your infectious triumphs 

taurus: i know that you are special because i know that you were the empress of inheritance, and that the gods and goddesses left the natural kingdom all to you. i know you are special because i have watched flowers bloom just for you as you walk on past, nature bows to you as if it prepares for your arrival and hears the unique sound of your footprints in the ground, the flowers, the sea, the stars, and creatures of the world see you and recognise their mother - mother earth. you are the value in which we measure the value of every gold, silver, and crystal 

gemini: i know you are special because i have literally seen you ask a question out of thin air and receive an answer shortly after. i’ve watched you change the most stubborn and convicted mind clever charisma and loquacious flirtation. i know you are special because i have seen teachers watching you from the corner of their eyes, hoping that you take advantage of your brilliant mind. seeing the light in you, because learning is your ceremonial prayer. i’ve seen the gods whisper words into your mind to help you finish sentences and find the right term, i’ve seen you bring down your enemy with nothing more than a flick of the tongue 

cancer: i know that you are special because i have seen you face the moon and her face change as she looks back at you with eyes of love. i know you are special because i have watched you soothe a screaming baby with a mild touch and stop someone’s tears with the softness in your voice. i’ve seen animals respond to you as if they were your own. i know you are special because i have felt old houses welcome you inside like you have always belonged there. you fill the room with your energy, and when you leaves part of you remains like a sweet and mysterious haunting 

leo: i know that you are special because i have seen black auras dissolve before your light, crushed by the blessing that is the beat of your heart. i have seen you walk outside in a mood of joy and delight and raise the sun on a rainy day. i know you are special because when you are happy the whole world is cheerful too, and when you are sad the whole world is miserable too. i have known many who believe in you and support you and would go to the end of the earth to help you shine like the sun they know you are 

virgo: i know you are special because god has trusted your mind and your hands with so much cosmic weight, and you could so easily fracture everything but you can see crystals and cracks that nobody else can. your hands were crafted with divine oversight, gold was poured in slain perfection and heavenly mineral i know you are special because you signed such a heavy contract and donated many of your blessings as a pre-act of service, you were focused so intently toward doing good 

libra: i know you are special because your earthly vessel was designed with curves and angles that allow every spec of light in the cosmos to shine right through it. i know you are special because colours were created just because they looked good on you, and you seemed so gifted at bringing these together and painting people’s souls in this rainbow. you have a way of making people feel loved and important without trying, your spirit plays a melody tuned into a hidden vibration and it blows the tune of beauty and harmony 

scorpio: i know you are special because the divine had no other way of trying to describe you but to create heaven, hell, magic, astral travel, and orgasm. i have seen the way every force good and evil in the universe bows to your presence, like they see and revel an ancient master who has been crossing the borderlands for centuries. i know you are special because you know how to crack the physical shell of skin and thinking, immerse your whole spirit so it flows the veins of your lover like ink that leaves a sacred stain for eternity 

sagittarius: i know you are special because you are the pot of gold that every rainbow pours into and the gods love to make bets on how much you will see and do. i know you are special because they don’t honour your memory by a eulogy, they wrote your whole existence into the ancient books of mythology, theology, and fairytales. you have a lamp inside from where the giant jupiter genie resides. the wheel of cosmic fortune is spun directly in your favour, and the cosmic jackpot is always blowing up

capricorn: i know you are special because i watch the whole world celebrate your birth every year. i’ve watched your spirit be held up as the example, at the height of each divine archetype, as the model of natal chart designs. i know you are special because you seem like you completed this all before and you are just perfecting what you have already done. your heart ticks like the cosmic clock that orbits every planet and in between responsibilities here you seem to maintain the whole universe 

aquarius: i know you are special because you are not of this earth and you find comfort in a place that is above and beyond here. i have seen the whole universe and every colour come alive in the crystal of your eyes, solar glitter and glassy ocean sparkling beneath golden light. i know you are special because the whole celestial space pours into your mind, your thoughts are electricity that illuminate the night 

pisces: i know you are special because you carried the breadth of spiritual substance that contained every divine archetypal design in this lifetime. you surrendered your body and mind as an instrument for the heavens, and the gods and goddesses play their holiest and most exquisite tunes straight through you. i know you are special because your essence and energy is the ultimate muse that inspires every painter, musician, writer, and artist

“It’s rather chilling to consider that one of the most indelible images in the Star Wars saga is its heroine silenced, stripped down, and in chains. I know a lot of men have positive feelings about this particular costume — in fact there’s an entire episode of the popular sitcom Friends that’s devoted to it — which is why it’s kind of hilariously ironic that Han Solo was blind during these scenes. That is, the one man who is romantically attached to Leia is the one man who never saw her in the golden bikini. Which means Han Solo is more attracted to a mouthy space age shield maiden than he is to a tight female body on display. In fact, if I could be so bold, I would suggest that Han Solo would be more turned on hearing about how Leia strangled Jabba the Hutt to death — using nothing but the chain that enslaved her — than he would be hearing about how his sworn enemy turned the woman he loved into a tawdry plaything.”

I mean, the first time he says he’s starting to like her, she’s wearing a dress that covers her from chin to ankles and has spent the entire time he’s known her stealing guns, yelling at him about how sucky of a rescuer he is, and trash-talking his ship.

I Have Trouble With Left and Right

I have trouble with left and right

I need to make the hand motions or visualize the directions.

I have trouble reading people

I will not understand your nonverbal cues.

I have trouble with sarcasm

I will often miss the joke or answer rhetorical questions.

I have trouble focusing on one thing

I get sensory input from everything around me; lights, conversations, smells, etc.

I have trouble with touch

So please do not touch me.

I move a lot, rock, and fidget

This is called stimming. I am turning down the sensory imput from my environment so i can focus.

I heard what you said

But if I don’t have a script then my brain needs to process the words.

I am listening, I promise

Eye contact hurts and is very uncomfortable.

I will repeat words.

This is called echolalia and it helps with auditory processing.

I will not remember your face

It’s got nothing to do with you. I cannot recognize faces.

I will seem to get angry over nothing

It just means something unexpected has happened or my routine has been interrupted.

I am autistic. I am not weird.

I just have a different brain.

I process the world around me a little differently.

I am a different type of human.

People assigned female at birth will usually not be diagnosed until later in life because they can “act the part”, and pass as a neurotypical person. Even after diagnosis many of these people will just come off as “quirky” or “odd” and may not even need to disclose that diagnosis in a work or school environment. That doesnt mean we don’t still put in a tremendous amount of effort to have daily lives outside of our homes.

Activities that actually help out with OCD and related disorders

Real quick I’m not a doctor; these are just what has worked for me over the years. I am diagnosed with OCD and dermatillomania (excoriation disorder) so this will focus on those two mental illnesses. 

I saw a post like this with things that are actually helpful for anxiety besides the typical *uwu take a bath* type of advice. Some of these I figured out and some come from my therapist. 

Okay here we go….

1. Knitting has been a huge help to me because I can cast on a “good” number of stitches, so when my counting compulsions kick in, I always know I will count to a “good” number. Knitting complicated patterns also takes enough focus that it helps block intrusive thoughts. Also keeps my hands busy so I don’t pick at my skin. 

2. I try to paint my nails every day because the act itself takes enough focus to block out most intrusive thoughts and then I have something besides my skin to pick at.

3. Play podcasts whenever you need to focus! This is especially helpful for me with school work. The trick is to not pay attention to the podcast; the background noise can be enough to occupy the crazy part of your brain while you work.

4. Make a bracelet to wear with a “good” number of beads. Focus on counting the beads when your compulsions get bad. 

5. For derma (and probably trich) any activity where your hands are occupied is best. If you’re watching tv, or something else passive, find something to hold or play with. 

6. If you’re in a state to work on your compulsions themselves, replacement compulsions can be really helpful. For example, while I can’t stop myself from picking at my skin, sometimes I can convince myself to put lotion on my hands instead. This leads to a different compulsion developing, but if it’s healthy, it is probably still a step in the right direction. 

7. Talk to people! I don’t even just mean expressing your feelings, but just the act of talking to people is enough to lessen most of my intrusive thoughts. Talking to people is one of the most engaging and thought provoking things and it can be an amazing distraction. 

8. I give myself acrylic nails sometimes because they’re thicker than regular nails and physically prevent me from picking and scratching while they’re on my nails

I hope this helps. Again, I’m not a doctor, these are just some tips I’ve learned. Feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions and add your own tips for obsessive disorders at the bottom of this post if you have any!

Trigery maybe?
